Namdi is done. Rashaan Salaam will be as useful for us in the secondary. I really don't see Emery replacing ALL of the defensive starters in one fell swoop. I just don't see us losing 2 CB's and all of the defensive linemen that are sure to go.

I can understand a guy saying he just wants to retire. But if would like to extend his career, then moving from CB to safety is an option. Rob Woodson did it successfully. I don't think it is mandatory for Tillman next season, but if he hangs around, the safety/retire choice will come. I think he could be an outstanding free safety. Retire Conte!

NO. He said on the radio on WSCR The Score the yesterday that he feels he has two years of playing CB left in him, then he will retire.

There will be NO playing of safety for him.

Maybe. But then he will have the next two years to reconsider. In football, two years is an eternity. Like anybody else, keep him as long as he can get the job done, then cut him loose if he'd rather retire than play safety.

Tillman knows what he wants, and will do what he wants.

He said he wants to watch his kids grow up, so in two years he will retire. I have no doubts on that. He does not need the money, he has gotten paid quite well.

If the Bears do not want to pay him to play CB, someone else likely will.
